mondeo starting

[negg1]

hi ive a 2001 diesel mondeo and it keeps grinding when i try to start it , the problem is the dmf flywheel which clogs up the starter motor so i put a new flywheel on and clutch and cleaned everything, this worked ok dor about 10,000 miles and now it has started to do it again every so often will a new starter help ??? any ideas ?? thanks neil

change you starter motor, i had the same thing with my mondeo. its a manufactors fault the starter motor just touches the flywheel, so after a few start's the teeth wear down on the starter dog. So you have to keep renewing the starter dog, it's a bit pain in the neck.
